Hi again, I noticed the bug was patched in a recent upload. Thanks! Unfortunately, because of this I've discovered potentially trickier hiccup with the cache that affects anyone still running KDE 3 apps inside a KDE 4 desktop, like I do (Amarok and K3B mostly, in my case). The two different cache cleaner versions (from 3 and 4) end up duking it out in a battle to rule the cache folder, i.e. they periodically nuke each other's cache files. It seems fine while only KDE 4 apps are running, but I noticed that while I was running Amarok, kdeinit (3) was running, and my cache was getting cleared, so I'm pretty sure this is the reason. I'm not sure how you would go about solving this issue. Perhaps block KDE 3 cleaner from running while KDE 4 kdeinit is active, or maybe just use a different cache location. Thought you should know.
